The Readers Have Spoken
August 26, 2008 And apparently you all want "cakes" with more sole.
Honestly, I've been e-mailed this so often I'm getting a haddock, and I'm starting to think there's something fishy going on here. Did the cake's non-baker shellfishly do this on porpoise? I'm not hard of herring, you know; I just couldn't fathom why you all would want a sushi "cake" on Wrecks. But then I figured, hey, I'm just being crabby - why not post the photo?
You know, for the halibut.
Thanks to the roughly half-zillion of you out there who sent me this link. And before you ask, why yes, I am a Dr.Demento fan.

There is just nothing right with that.
What the h-e-double hockey sticks is that? Can you imagine the smell?
Congrats on being a "Blog of Note".
I've turned all of my friends on to you.
OMG! I'm vegetarian, but if I'm ever tempted to eat fish or meat, I'll save this pic to look it. It's nauseating! First time I've ever laughed as I felt nauseous, though! :P
Haha! Love the puns :) You rock, friend.
OMG, this blog is the funniest! I gotta get back into decorating cakes! OK, not the fish cake, but seriously love your blog!!
omg no. no. no. no.
that is just... gross.
gah.
Sushi (good sushi) doesn't smell like anything, jbvieregge. But... yeah, a "cake" of it is a bit questionable. XD
As for all the fishy puns, yay! I love Kip Adduta's song "Wet Dream" and this is highly reminiscent.
Oh, just saw the Dr. Demento bit. Right, that's what I meant. :D
Dr. Demento Rocks! "Fish heads, fish heads....Yum!"
And yes, I have Kip Adotta's song "Wet Dream" going through my head now!!
What the...eeeeeeeeeewwwwwwww!
I'm a little disappointed that with all your comments about this cake, you didn't get a "Fish Heads" reference in there! :)
hahahh - love all the fishiness in your comment. Thats just impressive. And I love sushi but umm - eww for a cake!
I guess I'm the only reader that thinks this looks yummie! I love sushi. Oh well. I still wouldn't want a raw fish wedding cake!
I love the caviar all over it. It kind of looks like the cake's messed its self.
when I was pregnant with my first, I couldn't even stand the smell of fish, and preggo nose meant I could smell it a mile away.
I think I just got a little sick...
Oche, the roe . . . that just looks terrible.
But is that a professional cake?
I think the caterer drastically misunderstood the meaning of "fish cake".
Shaaaaammmmee... shame on whomever thought that was a good idea. Shaammmeee on whomever paid for it! Shame on you all!!
Is that Edamame & Avacodo slices on a fish cake??? For a moment I was certain that a clown threw up...
EWWWWWWW!
*eels over*
I think this is the sort of cake you can't enjoy until you get tanked. ;)
you're hilarious!
So talented. Love the commentary!
Hooray for Dr. Demento fans!! I just heard that song the other day (yes, I have Dr. Demento's 20th anniversary set on my mp3 player.)
"Just fix the damn thing and keep my private life out of it, okay?"
D-I-double gus-TING cake!
that's the nastiest thing I have ever seen. gross
oh my heavens!!! This is just nasty, even if you like sushi! Your blog puts a smile on my face every morning, thank you. I will keep James' family in my prayers even though that probably isn't politically correct. Keep up the good work. Annie
It's true: this isn't technically a Wreck. It's not pro-made, paid for, or even cake! But hey, how else was I supposed to make a bunch of fish puns? :)
It was for a wedding party, btw, not the wedding itself. Don't know if that helps...
Although I would much rather have sushi any day of the week over cake of any sort, I dunno that I need it presented like that!
Regarding the commentary: Cod you be a little less sharky next time?
I'm going to be the first to say it, and I'm not going to flounder around trying to come up with a clever way to phrase it: that looks delicious.
Of course, I'm herring on the side of caution, here, but I'll guess most people are thinking, "Cod this be any more nasty?" I'm floundering for something nice to say. Koi vey!
By the way, how did they get everything to perch in tiers like that?
And though sushi's supposed to be odorless...I still think it must've smelt bad! But then again, I've never been a sucker for seafood.
to be honest, i think it's quite beautiful. not sure i'd dive into a cake of raw fish with a hundred other people but i do think the aesthetics are nice. : ) haha
jen, love your blog. my friends and i read it every day. funniest thing i've read in awhile.
Jen, as a fellow fan of the good Doctor, I'm dying over here. Marvelous post. You didn't flounder for a moment.
I guess I'll be the odd one out. I love sushi, as do most of my friends, and think that "cake" is cool. Now I wouldn't have it at my wedding reception (most of my family wouldn't come within 20 feet of fish that isn't battered and deep fried), but at, say, a bridal shower with friends? Yeah totally. I really don't see this as being much different than the Kripsy Kreme donut wedding cake (in the interest of full disclosure: I'm not a big fan of KK; I much prefer dunkin donuts)
BTW, jbvieregge, fresh fish does not smell. If you've been dealing with stinky fish I feel sorry for you.
Once again, people - MEAT does not belong in CAKE!!!
LMAO!!!
Amazing cake!It seems to be very good!
That is just wrong on so many, uh, layers...
Salmon, soy beans, avocado, caviar.....oh my. I think I just threw up a little.
I like sushi, but that looks too much like ducks swimming on vomit for me eat any of it.
Damn that is something else. Pretty wild. Nice job though as I'd be willing to try it although not after it's been sitting around for 3 hours! Eeek.
Somebody's sick!
I think this looks delicious (even at 8 in the morning.) Then again I loooove sushi.
I would so love to eat a sushi cake, but that would have to be consumed VERY quickly. The thing I don't get, though, is the duckies. The duckies are confusing.
It's so wonderful. I now have a picture to look at for the purpose of curbing my mid-morning snack craving at work! Thank you thank you thank you. When diet and exercise fail, there's always sushi cake. (Just kidding, I'm not on a diet, but this could be a real appetite curbing program that you could start and make millions, although I would like to think your blog is doing that for you, as it is so wonderful!)
Oy. And if the queasy factor of the fish doesn't get you- lots of those rubber novelty duckies have lead.
I see why you passed on posting it the first 500 thousand times.
Blech.
Loved the cleaver use of pisceanary terms, you really let fly with them. This hooked me with the first pun, then you just kept stringing me along. No need to scale back on the excellent commentary. Please keep trouting out more cakes for our amusement.
i totally have that song in my head now! LOL!!!!
Trying not to yack on my computer keyboard.
Ahhh.... Dr. Demento.....
...roley- poley fish heads....
(in a sing-song voice)
But I digress...
Are you sure it's not filled with tuna salad like those other "lunch-cake" abominations??
Actually, I think the most hilarious part of the whole thing is the rubber duck couple.
And, no, I don't think it's appetizing at all.
This looks so good! We're taking our wedding party to a sushi restaurant - might have to suggest it! ;-)
